Very nice Hajme! Did you chemically etch the pattern plate?

These pictures are fascinating.

I have seen this dial printing equipment before in catalogues, but I have never seen exactly how it used. Thank you for posting these pictures.

Can I ask wow you made the plate ?

Were you able to design the dial on a computer and transfer the design to the plate ?
